Abstract

When designing low power sensor with radio capabilities the choice of the encoding for the radio signal can have great impact on performance and implementation requirements. The paper presents different encodings with their advantages and disadvantages, looking at both performance and implementation requirements. Finally the paper presents a proposed PWM encoding and the way that it was implemented and shows that the implementation advantages over other more traditional encoding outweigh the loss in performance. As well the paper presents different implementation methods for transmitters and receivers using the PWM encoding.
